Original 1st printing 14&1/4 x 19&3/4" concert poster for the Grateful Dead appearing with the Experience at the Pioneer Ballroom in Suisun City, CA from 9/23-24/1966. Artist Unknown/not credited, image (yellow stock flyer/handbill) is featured in the Art of Rock on page 186 (plate 2.184). Medium-thick flat vellum stock poster is in GORGEOUS near mint to excellent (A-/B+ to B+) condition; the piece was washed at one point to remove surface dirt, leaving a very slight moisture wave to the paper, along with a thin vertical stress bend above the second "e" of "Pioneer" and a stray soft pinch ding or two, otherwise fine. Totally cool (and weird-looking) 1966 poster from a tiny two-night semi-local (between San Francisco and Sacramento) engagement, apparently there were very few events held at this venue.
